I agree with harmonee, but that song is not only about the seaport Grimsby, UK. I think, it is mainly about a the Partition of India (..."the great divide") in 1947, when the british people came back to their hometowns. And the person in that song, was born in Grimbsy and loved that town. So that's what the song is about...
